Interesting!

Newborns do not have solid knee caps. Instead, their knees are made of soft cartilage that gradually transforms into bone as they grow, usually completing the process between ages three and five. This cartilage provides both protection and flexibility, essential for crawling, squatting, and the wide range of movements babies explore in their first years.

During the first year, tiny ossification centers appear in the cartilage. Over the next couple of years, these centers expand and harden, forming the bony kneecap, or patella. By preschool age, most children have fully developed knee caps strong enough to support walking, running, climbing, and jumping.

The absence of bone in newborn knees is a clever design by nature. Soft cartilage cushions minor bumps and falls, reducing the risk of injury while allowing toddlers to explore their environment freely. Parents often worry when babies wobble or tumble, but this flexibility actually makes early movement safer.

Understanding the timeline of knee development highlights just how amazing the human body is. From soft cartilage to fully formed kneecaps, every step in a child’s growth prepares them for a lifetime of movement. Early wobbling, crawling, and falling are all part of a natural process that builds strength, coordination, and resilience.

It’s officially Christmas Season and even Santa is starting to feel the strain… 🎄
All the lifting, bending, rushing and getting ready for the festivities can take a toll on your back and joints.

If your body feels more “Santa carrying gifts” than “festive and relaxed” this December remember:

✨ Taking care of yourself now means a more comfortable holiday season.
✨ A gentle check-in with your physio can help reduce tension improve movement and prevent painful flare-ups.

And if things get a little too busy…
you (or Santa!) can always come visit us at Karin Stofberg Physiotherapy.

Move well feel well and enjoy the season comfortably. 🤍
